69: No, I'll wait for you to post it yourself.

It was already the next day, and as soon as Zhou Yun got out of bed, he received a call from Judge Dai.

“Ah? You settled it so quickly? Judge Dai, your efficiency is really fast!”

It must be said that the Court really has a knack for “persuasion”!

Judge Dai’s voice came from the phone: “It’s also because your side has relatively sufficient evidence, so we have more reasons to persuade.”

“The liquidated damages will not be reduced, as it’s not about that one or two tens of thousands.”

“However, there is one thing, the Bank’s intention is that they can mediate, and they can even agree to things like suspending loan payments, but a non-disclosure agreement must be signed. You cannot put this mediation in your video.”

“We also mean the same thing here. After all, stability is our priority, Zhou Lawyer, you should understand what I mean, right?”

In the Court office, Judge Dai’s face also showed a little worry. Now that everything was settled, if Zhou Yun insisted on posting a video, it would be difficult to handle.

However, Zhou Yun immediately laughed upon hearing this: “No problem, a non-disclosure agreement can be signed, no problem. I promise I won’t put this matter in the video!”

“Ah?” Judge Dai was stunned for a moment: “Zhou Lawyer, are you serious? If you sign a non-disclosure agreement and then release it, the liquidated damages will be very high.”

Zhou Yun directly said: “Don’t worry about that. I am a Lawyer, how could I actively breach the contract? I just hope the Bank can keep their word and absolutely not disclose it.”

Judge Dai wanted to laugh upon hearing this: “Zhou Lawyer, that’s impossible. The Bank will absolutely keep it confidential; how could they reveal it themselves?”

“Then it’s settled. Tomorrow, come to the Court tomorrow, and I’ll issue you the mediation agreement.”

After everything was said and the call was hung up, Judge Dai finally relaxed.

Being able to mediate and keep it confidential was the best solution.

He had previously thought that Zhou Yun would be stubborn, but he didn’t expect him to be so reasonable!

Good, this young man is really capable.

Many mediation and confidentiality matters exist; the most well-known one is the “helping the elderly” case from back then, which ultimately resulted in a settlement by signing a non-disclosure agreement.

In the hotel room, Zhou Yun put down his phone. Everything was settled. Once the agreement was signed and the money was received, he could report the developer to the Police Officer directly.

As for not being able to put the matter with the Bank in a video… this meant that as long as he didn’t speak out, it wouldn’t count as a breach of contract.

The developer’s misappropriation of funds definitely involved cooperation from people within the Bank!

Those loans were absolutely not simply issued in violation of regulations, so Zhou Yun wasn’t worried at all.

When the investigation deepened, the people from the Bank would also definitely be investigated.

So, the question arises, if people from the Bank are arrested and then reveal the mediation agreement, and it gets exposed, who would be in breach of contract?

Zhou Yun wanted to laugh just thinking about that scenario, but for now, he should first tell Wen Yuhe and the others; they were probably anxious waiting.

Downstairs at the unfinished building, Grandpa Li had just returned. He had to go out to work every day; he and his wife had to eat, and the house loan had to be repaid.

His son couldn’t repay it alone, so he had to help. He didn’t have the guts to stop loan payments, so he could only endure the hardship.

He wondered how things were going with Zhou Lawyer. Last time he saw the developer, he said they were on the right track, and now…

Just as he was thinking, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Zhou Lawyer.

“Hello, Zhou Lawyer, hey, what’s up?”

Zhou Yun’s voice came from the phone: “Grandpa Li, are you busy? I have two pieces of news for you. The good news is that I’ve helped you get your liquidated damages.”

“Come to the Court tomorrow to sign the mediation agreement, but there’s a condition: you cannot talk about this matter to anyone; you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.”

Grandpa Li said excitedly: “Really, really got it? No problem, Zhou Lawyer, we promise not to say anything. Oh, you said this, oh, it’s really too good!”

His family’s liquidated damages were a bit more, over ninety thousand, even after deducting Zhou Lawyer’s ten percent, there was still over eighty thousand!

This eighty thousand felt like it came out of nowhere for Grandpa Li.

Because he had long since given up hope on this!

Now, hearing that it could still be recovered, he was uncontrollably excited for a moment.

However, after the excitement, he still asked: “Then, Zhou Lawyer, what’s the other bad news?”

Zhou Yun laughed upon hearing this: “Grandpa Li, who told you there was another bad news?”

“Then… Zhou Lawyer, you just said two pieces of news, one good news…” Grandpa Li said with a look of surprise.

“Haha, two pieces of news. One is good news, and the other is also good news. The Bank has agreed to temporarily suspend your loan payments. You only start repaying when the house is delivered!” Zhou Yun said again.

Grandpa Li was stunned. There was actually such good news?

Although it was still difficult to get the down payment back this way, it was enough. With so much money from the liquidated damages, plus not having to repay the mortgage, life suddenly got better.

In his excitement, Grandpa Li said: “Zhou Lawyer, how did the Bank agree to that? We applied many times before…”

Zhou Yun laughed again: “Of course, it was after some persuasion. The Bank is actually very reasonable; they are also a vulnerable group.”

“I’ll tell the others. For now, that’s it. Remember to come to the Court at nine AM tomorrow.”

After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Li excitedly paced back and forth. He had to tell his old wife and his son that there was finally a good outcome!

Wen Yuhe’s reaction upon hearing this result was to start crying. She was truly at her breaking point.

With the situation at home, the psychological pressure was too great, and now there was finally a result.

Thus, the next day, the seven households and the representative of Linwu Branch signed the mediation agreement. This was a mediation agreement issued by the Court, which has legal effect.

At the same time, the Branch also arranged for the seven households to suspend their payments. Everyone was satisfied, and there was harmony.

Zhou Yun waited until the Bank had completed the transaction and transferred the money before going to a nearby Police Station.

“Hello, Comrade, I want to report a case. The boss of Xingguang Real Estate Development Company is suspected of misappropriating funds.”

After saying that, under the stunned gaze of the Police Officer at the Police Station, Zhou Yun began to pull out evidence.

“This is the statement issued by the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, showing that Linwu Branch transferred the housing loans to this account, and here, is the account’s fund details.”

“It basically shows that ninety percent of the housing pre-receipts went into this account, suspecting that someone within the Bank cooperated.”

“Here, after the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau’s investigation, Xingguang Company spent a lot of money buying things, but there was nothing, including tiles, lamps, etc…”

“And finally, one more thing, the former boss of Xingguang Company, named Mi Jingming, was also the actual controller of this Lichang Company, having withdrawn a year ago…”

“And here, this is the self-statement of a person named Meng Guoliang, stating that he is the actual controller of Xingguang Company, and his address is…”

“Do you see anything missing?”

The Police Officer blinked. He felt as if the other party had already collected and organized all the evidence, and even prepared the suspect’s identity information and location, just waiting for them to make the arrest…

He wanted to say something, wanted to ask something, but couldn’t think of anything!

“Nothing. I’ll go report to the leader…”
